Information about the Michigan Electrical Employees Health Plan.

The Michigan Electrical Employees Health Plan (MEEHP) is a self-funded health care plan provided for members through negotiated contributions made by signatory employers. This fund contracts with Blue Cross/Blue Shield for the administration of claims, however, all costs incurred are paid for by the fund. The use of Blue Cross/Blue Shield allows our members access to medical facilities and doctors throughout the country, and also allows the plan to reimburse at the low negotiated rates Blue Cross is able to provide.

In addition to general health care coverage, MEEHP provides benefits such as disability and death benefits to participants and beneficiaries. MEEHP also covers retirees from the electrical industry ensuring that our members are able to retire earlier than most workers and continue their vital health insurance throughout retirement.

MEEHP also allows members who may be unemployed the ability to continue coverage for a period of 9 months at 50% of the premium, and then extend to COBRA if needed. This ensures that members and their families are protected during slow construction periods. Participants may use their special fund accounts to cover these premiums. Forms are available on the MEEHP website.
